While the Inc. 5000 is filled with exciting companies that you’ve probably never heard of, there are also some familiar names on the list. Rosetta Stone is a popular brand with college students, because so many students want to learn new languages but can’t fit foreign languages into their schedules. Rosetta Stone is far and away the biggest brand name when it comes to learning new languages, so it’s no big surprise that the Arlington, VA based company has grown from $48.4 million in revenue to $209.4 million over the past three years. In fact, the growth has been so strong that they recently held an IPO that was considered very successful.
While many companies in the business of selling content are struggling these days, Rosetta Stone continues to thrive because of their unique approach. They created a system for effectively teaching people languages on the computer, and then they modified the process for 30 different languages. Even though it costs them very little to administer their content to a new customer, they’re able to charge a significant amount of money because of how well their software works. If you love languages, then it’d be hard to find a company as interesting to work at as Rosetta Stone. They have a really nice looking Careers page, but there is no mention of an internship program (these seems to be a common theme lately). Luckily, I did a little digging and found the scoop on internships with Rosetta Stone. There are a variety of opportunities from an Endangered Language Program Internship to a Web Content Internship to an Legal Enforcement Intern (Intellectual Property)—all appear to be paid. Rosetta Stone also does some campus recruiting, so checking out their Facebook Recruiting page is a good way to get the scoop on that. Although I’m not 100% certain on this, I think that your best for applying for an internship with Rosetta Stone is to reach out to them at internships@rosettastone.com.
